Service Description

In this introductory clay course, the caretaker and child will learn basic hand building techniques through exploration and experimentation. Each session is loosely guided by a different theme, but participants are free to take their projects in any direction they choose. Participants can expect to learn how to work with slabs, coils, and pinch pots. Both decorative and functional ceramic work will be created consisting of, but not limited to, snack plates, figurative sculptures, pinch pot mugs, slab vessels, and more. *Please note that there is no wheel use in this class.* This class is designed for age levels K-2nd grade and requires a caretaker to be present and active in the art making processes with their child. We ask that participants arrive 2-3 minutes early so that class can begin promptly at 430pm. There will be one makeup available for a missed class which will occur on the Friday after the final class. The project for this makeup day will be determined near the end of the 6 week session. ***Please note that this class requires a minimum of 2 participants to run. If less than 2 children are registered, refunds will be issued and the class will be rescheduled.*** Our final class will consist of glazing student work. Any remaining unglazed work will be glazed by River Ceramics. Pieces will be ready for pick up 4 weeks after the final class. All course materials, firing, and glazing are included in the cost of the course. Participants are granted access to the studio during all posted open studio hours to come in and work independently on any current projects. Participants may not begin new or separate projects outside of class time. Please note that participants should be able to work confidently and independently while following all basic studio rules as a Clay Explorers instructor will not be available outside of class. Coming in to work on pieces outside of class time is up to a participant's discretion and is not required. *Please email hello@riverceramicsstudio.com to alert the studio so work can be pulled and ready for the student upon arrival.*
